So-called “Republican controlled Senate” says they don’t have the votes to dismiss Trump’s impeachment case, in fact almost no interest in motion to dismiss. Trump had called for “outright dismissal”-ABC News

Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have said that dismissing the articles of impeachment against Trump is not a likely scenario. Instead, they have endorsed a vote of acquittal, believing it sends a stronger message.

“Our members, generally, are not interested in a motion to dismiss. They think both sides need to be heard. They believe the president needs to be heard, for the first time, in a fair setting,” Blunt said.

Comment: Amazing that Trump expects the GOP Senate to help him. Trump’s 2016 victory was a result of a hostile takeover of the GOP which isn’t really a political party, it’s just a lobby for fat cats. It despises voters, has no interest in winning, and is happier in the minority. When we gave the GOP House a landslide victory in Nov. 2010 they were furious. There were almost no Republicans left in the House after 2008 and they loved it that way. If a voter complains, they just say, sorry, Democrats control everything, nothing I can do. They want to be left alone to do deals.
